[manjaro-general] [Stable Update] 2018-05-17 – GCC8, Gimp, KDE, Gnome, Deepin, Firefox

[Manjaro Linux: Bernhard Landauer]

Hi community,

although we tried to wait not too long since the last one, this has again become quite a big and important **stable update**.  
With the arrival of **GCC8** all our kernels with extramodules and other software had to be re-compiled. Kernels **linux 414, 416, 49** and realtime LTS kernel **4.14.40-rt30** had new point releases and **linux417** is now at **rc5**.

**GIMP** has gone 'all mushrooms' 😉 with a fresh new look for its latest stable release:

We update **Gnome** to **3.28.2**, **KDE-framework** to **5.46** with **KDE-apps 18.04.1** and **Deepin** and **Cinnamon** receive several package updates aswell. Also of course we have the very latest browser versions for you: **Firefox 60.0.1**, **Chromium 66.0.3359.181** and **Palemoon 27.9.1**

Users of video editor **flowblade** (from the AUR) should be aware that it is currently not ready for **mlt 6.8.0**, which is also on today's package list! Hopefully its developers will be able to adjust quickly…

If you are curious about the latest state of development for the upcoming **Manjaro-Illyria 18.0** release, you now have the opportunity to download a [beta-build][2] of **Manjaro-Xfce 18.0** including the latest **xfce-gtk3** packages aswell as our most recent styling efforts:
